BUENA VISTA TOWNSHIP, MI — Gunfire erupted in the early morning hours as patrons were visiting Better Dayz Bar and Grill in Buena Vista Township on Sunday, March 3. Officials report four or five people were injured in the incident.

“I was in their hospital for about eight or nine hours until they did surgery. I could’ve been killed last night, but it was faith.”

Jones said he feels bad for those who were shot Saturday night, but said most of the violence in Saginaw could be averted if more leaders lived in the city.

“I feel bad for those other people who got shot and their families. I wish it never happened. I hope those fools don’t shoot nobody else,” he said.

“With officials living in the neighborhoods I think people would be more hesitant to do things like this.”

Jones said he knew he was shot when he couldn’t control his bowels.

“Gunshots went off and I felt something,” he said. “At first I thought it was a strain in my back, but then I felt the boo-boo coming out my butt, and I started thinking why am I (expletive) on myself. And then I realized I must be shot.

“I thought it was over, but I had to calm myself down. My kids went through my mind. I thought about my moms and people were asking should they call her. I told people not to worry her. I just kept thinking, why me?”

Police said they collected dozens of spent shell casings that were ejected from at least three weapons at the scene.

Detectives have identified persons of interest responsible for the shooting but police said they have not received a lot of cooperation in the investigation.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact the Buena Vista Police Department Detective Division at 989-753-7790 or the detective tip-line 989-233-2363.
